Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal
Page 179
Although the red clothes were stained with a lot of blood, their original bright red color went unnoticed by others.
As she walked, she would occasionally hear women laughing softly beside her, inviting this female knight-errant who had come to stroll at night into the building.
Whenever Xi Heng was invited, he would subconsciously glance over and see that the building was brightly lit and filled with luxurious decorations that made people feel intoxicated and lost.
The aroma of flowers and wine wafted out, even making her wonder if she should take advantage of her free time to go inside and experience a different kind of hospitality...
However, such thoughts only flashed through her mind for a moment before she dismissed them.
Xi Heng has used up half of his internal energy tonight and is feeling a bit tired.
Furthermore, deliberately socializing with strange women in such places is simply not in her nature.
"Go back and get some rest first...we'll talk about it when we have more free time later."
Ignoring the noise of the people around him, Xi Heng returned to the Flower Pavilion he longed for.
The spacious pavilion was open, and like the other pavilions outside, lanterns hung on all four sides, swaying in the breeze. Vases were placed under the beams and pillars, filled with golden autumn bouquets of various colors.
The guards at the gate respectfully invited her inside. She walked across the lotus pond and the small stone bridge, then circled the covered walkway and climbed the mahogany steps to the third floor.
Chunxian seemed to have already rested. Xiheng pushed open the door but did not find her cleaning and tidying the room as usual.
Hua Man Lou doesn't handle business at night. Even though it's packed with customers during the day, it always becomes quiet and empty late at night—unlike other establishments that only open for business near night.
After Xi Heng closed the doors and windows, he could faintly hear a woman singing in the distance.
Subconsciously, I started humming a similar tune.
After a quick wash, she sat on the bed and slowly took off her blood-stained clothes, hanging them on a wooden frame.
Seeing that the collar of her close-fitting shirt was also stained with blood, she clicked her tongue and, somewhat uncomfortably, took it off as well.
She glanced at her exposed, smooth skin and pulled up the covers.
She was still not quite used to sleeping naked like this.
Although this has happened several times in recent days, it mostly occurred after I had been joking and playing around with my junior sister, Hongji.
We were both exhausted at that time, and we didn't care whether we slept naked or clothed. It was normal for us to fall asleep in each other's arms.
The other day, she even had a dream where she and her junior sister Hongji somehow traveled back to the modern world together, went shopping, ate barbecue, watched a movie, and finally went to a place like a love hotel... It was quite a strange dream.
Xi Heng pulled the still-warm bedding over his head, closed his eyes, and let his mind wander. He slowly drifted off to sleep in the dimly lit room.
……
After a period of drowsiness, tomorrow will arrive.
Bright light from outside shone through the window screen, adding a touch of clarity to the dim and unclear interior.
The birds chirped as usual in the early morning, their calls like a harmonious chorus.
The girl's breathing was gentle; she remained asleep.
It wasn't until a light knock sounded on the door that she was pulled back to reality.
"Sir, breakfast is ready, including barley porridge, fruit pies, sausages, custard buns..." The maid Chunxian outside the door rattled off a list of dishes: "What would you like, sir? I'll go get it now."
"Hmm." Xi Heng was still sleepy, but he was indeed a little hungry.
Sleepiness and appetite surged into my mind at the same time, and it took me a few seconds to respond: "Just bring me a bowl of porridge, and make it sweet..."
"Yes," the maid outside replied, then her footsteps made a rustling sound as she stepped on the fabric and wooden planks.
Xi Heng closed his eyes and rested for a while longer.
Once I close my eyes and open them again, I don't know if five minutes or half an hour have passed.
She slowly woke up only when she heard the maid's soft calls and knocking at the door again.
The lingering drowsiness gradually dissipated, and upon waking up again, my mind was much clearer.
The girl covered her mouth and yawned softly, then waved for the maid outside to come in.
The petite Chunqian steadily carried the porridge in both hands and first placed it on the round reunion table.
"Please enjoy your meal, sir," Chunxian said respectfully, then stepped back as if to leave.
Xi Heng used words to pull the other person back:
"I was too tired yesterday and don't want to do anything today. How about Chunxian feeds me?"
The maid blinked her big eyes and subconsciously repeated the words Xi Heng had said: "Too tired, don't want to do it, hey..."
She swallowed, trying to hide the slight tremor in her eyes, but the blush on her face could not conceal what was on her mind.
"What are you thinking about?" the girl glanced at him.
"I wasn't thinking anything," the other person replied, pursing their lips.
"Hey, me." To punish the other person for overthinking, Xi Heng turned his question into a command.
"Huh? Um...yes..."
Chunxian picked up the smooth wooden plate again and approached it, her expression seemingly flustered, but her years of training as a maid managed to suppress it.
At least on the surface, he maintained a compliant demeanor, scooping up a spoonful of porridge and blowing on it lightly.
Xi Heng sat up in bed and found Chun Qian's pouting face rather cute.
"Guest officer..."
But the other person looked away, avoiding eye contact, their face flushed.
The girl's cherry lips slightly parted.
The other person understood what he meant and nervously extended a bowl and spoon, holding it to their lips.
The spoon rested against her thin, jelly-like lips, adding a touch of moisture.
"It is indeed quite sweet."
"I'm glad you're satisfied, sir." Chunxian held the spoon and slowly swirled it around in the porridge bowl a few times.
Through their cooperation, the porridge was gradually used up.
The girl took the handkerchief offered by the other person and wiped her lips, feeling that Chunxian was staring at her.
If she looked at him, he would immediately look away, as if he was afraid of meeting her gaze.
Seeing his flushed face, Xi Heng felt that the other person was thinking about something strange.
"What are you thinking about now?" she asked.
"N-nothing." Chunxian coughed lightly, covered her mouth, stood up from the bedside, picked up the wooden plate supporting the empty bowl, and said in her usual manner:
"I'll go set out the tableware first..."
"And please prepare some hot water for me as well," Xi Heng replied. "I was exhausted last night and haven't washed up yet."
Upon hearing the words "tired after a long night," Chunqian lowered her head shyly and quickened her pace to leave.
Xi Heng, on the other hand, let his body sway lazily for a moment before collapsing onto the bed with a thud.
Sleepiness crept in again, and before long, my consciousness drifted away to a deeper place.
……
When I woke up again, I didn't know how much time had passed.
The sky became even brighter, making the interior even brighter.
Knock knock,
A familiar knocking sounded on the door.
Then, naturally, came Chunxian's voice again: "Sir, the hot water is ready. Would you like to take a bath now?"
"Prepare a bathrobe for me." After catching up on sleep, Xi Heng finally woke up.
"Yes."
Chunxian left again, and then returned.
Pushing open the door, she brought out a complete white and red bathrobe.
Xi Heng took it and wrapped it directly around his naked body, tightening the waistband.
Then he followed the maid out and went down a deserted corridor to his bath room.
Inside the bathhouse, a few pale yellow petals floated on the surface of a wooden tub filled with warm water, like little boats drifting on a calm lake.
Xi Heng skillfully unfastened her waist belt and opened her bathrobe, revealing her fair and jade-like skin inch by inch. The maid beside her looked at her with slightly pursed lips and a dazed expression.
Smooth bare feet trod on the slightly damp, thick wooden floor, splashing water droplets that made soft slapping sounds on the wet steps.
It sounded like raindrops.
Next, the tiptoes touched the warm water, enveloped in its warmth, and then the water flowed over the ankles, the soft lines of the calves, the knees, and the thighs...
With most of her body already in the bathtub, the girl slowly let out a sigh of relief.
When you're immersed in warm water, you always feel a gentle warmth as if everything is enveloping you.
After being so busy for so long, it's time to soak in a nice bath and relax a bit...
Xi Heng leaned back and slowly closed his eyes.
Chunxian respectfully stepped back and took the blood-stained clothes from yesterday to wash them.
After adding hot water twice, Xi Heng finally relaxed, broke free from this gentle embrace, and gently wiped his skin with a towel.
After a long while, I finally put on my bathrobe and prepared to go back.
Before leaving, she said to the laundry room, "Chunxian, come to my room after you're done."
"Huh?" The sound of washing clothes inside stopped.
Xi Heng smiled faintly, opened the door, and left.
……
Before noon, the third floor of the building was filled with flowers.
Xi Heng hummed a song as he casually arranged flowers in a round vase in the room, letting the flower branches fall into the mouth of the vase and the bouquet above waving outwards.
Adorned with numerous colorful and beautiful flowers, she placed the vase by the window on the other side.
Standing on the windowsill, one can enjoy a panoramic view of the bustling Qin Xie Alley.
Although it was not yet noon and most of the pavilions were closed, with only a few restaurants and inns still open, the scenery was still beautiful.
"To be honest, yesterday's events must have caused quite a stir among the people."
Xi Heng thought to himself, "By now, the name of the Compassionate Saintess should have spread throughout the capital and be revered by thousands..."
After all, the people of the capital who hated those five treacherous officials the most were the common people who had been exploited by them countless times.
"The title of 'Compassionate Saintess' is one that Chen Fenghuo and I share... She must be affected by it quite a bit."
"We should send a letter to Chen Fenghuo and ask her to limit the Dark Heaven Sect's northward expansion."
"It might be difficult for me to deliver the letter myself, so I'd rather have the imperial court deliver it for me... Hmm, I'll go find Zhao Chuxiao later."
We should also take this opportunity to discuss with the other party how to resolve the problem of the bandits around the capital... and ask them to reclaim the military power of the capital's army.
Xi Heng casually thought about what he needed to do next, his five fingers gently stroking the bouquet in the bottle.
Suddenly, several light footsteps came from outside.
She recognized Chunxian's footsteps and turned to look at the door.
Knock knock,
"Come in."
With a faint creak, the wooden door opened, and a neatly dressed girl walked out from behind it, with only a few water stains on her sleeves.
"What are your orders, sir?" the other party asked in a weak voice.
Xi Heng closed the window first, then slowly approached the bedside and sat down.
Then, he gently patted the bed with his right hand.
Although her voice was very soft, it made Chunxian's heart skip a beat, and she subconsciously took a step back.
"Sir..." Chunxian's cheeks flushed, it seemed she could only utter these two words:
